    Abstract: A technique of backing up a workload in a virtual environment includes identifying one or more files that are associated with the workload. One or more source volumes that include the one or more files are identified. A respective target volume is provisioned for each of the one or more source volumes identified. Only dirty blocks are copied (in a snapshot mode that prevents an update to the one or more source volumes during the snapshot mode) from each of the one or more source volumes to its respective target volume. The one or more dirty blocks are then copied from each target volume to a backup medium.

    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for selecting virtual machines to be migrated. The page consumption is monitored and recorded for each virtual machine running on a physical machine in a cloud computing node. Those virtual machines with a positive gradient of page consumption that is less than a threshold are placed in a list of virtual machines to be ranked. The virtual machines in the list are ranked based on an increasing order of the relative page consumption value at each sample interval within an observation window of time. A final rank for each virtual machine in the list is computed based on averaging its ranking across each sample interval within the observation window of time. One or more virtual machines are then selected to be migrated to another physical machine that have the lowest final ranking (i.e., with the lowest relative page consumption values).
